Teen models as young as 13-years-old ready to be shipped around the world star in Reggie Yates' latest documentary on Russia.
Reggie Yates' Extreme Russia: Teen ModelFactory saw the presenter visit Siberia to meet the young girls who are going to extreme lengths to attract the international scouts and make it as fashion models in the West.

In the heart of Russia, in a forest larger than Germany, where winter temperatures drop to -40 degrees, 7 hours from the nearest city, lies a prison like no other. Home to 260 men, responsible for nearly 800 murders, Penal Colony 56 is unique: a prison exclusively for killers.
With unprecedented access, this documentary looks into the hidden world of one of Russia's most impenetrable and remote institutions - a maximum security prison exclusively for murderers. Deep inside the land of the gulags, this is the end of the line for some of Russia's most dangerous criminals - 260 men who have collectively killed nearly 800 people. The film delves deep into the mind and soul of some of these prisoners.
In brutally frank and uncensored interviews the inmates speak of their crimes, life and death, redemption and remorselessness, insanity and hope. The film tracks them though their unrelenting days over several months, lifting the veil on one of Russia's most secretive subcultures to reveal what happens when a man is locked up in a tiny cell for 23 hours every day, for life.
A startling insight into inscrutable minds and the forbidding world they have been condemned to.

NickRead, director of Russia's Toughest Prison: The Condemned answers the StoryvilleQ&AWhat is more important, story or character?
If pushed I would have to say story. But it’s rare in film to try & tell a story in the absence of characters. Characters are key to humanising a story, giving it emotional dimensions and making a story memorable.
What made you first want to explore the subject?
The story emerged out of conversations with producer Mark Franchetti who had visited the prison as a print journalist several years previously. He had established a lasting relationship with the somewhat maverick governor, who sounded like a really strong film character (and who might be persuaded to let us in!). While we had to leave for the prison without any preproduction, and hence little real idea of our narrative, the attraction was to make a film about a community living on the very edge of the known, civilised world – to point a torch into their dark corner – and explore the concept of evil.
How long did it take to get the film off the ground?
It took about 6 months to acquire the necessary permissions from the Russian prison service and to raise funding.
What were you most surprised to learn in the course of production?
What surprised me most was how eloquent, educated and well-read many of the prisoners were. They were prisoners also of a time and place. The majority were convicted when Russia was at its most lawless – in the wild years of Yeltsin’s Presidency, when the state institutions were sold off & coalesced with organised crime. It was also when the limits on the strength of state vodka were lifted. Many prisoners committed murder when blind drunk.
What have been the differences in reception to the film in countries it has now travelled to?
The film found its most responsive audience in Eastern European countries, and also Canada.Perhaps they could relate to being locked up in a very cold environment!

Part horror movie, part journalistic investigation – this film will bring to life the dark, sexual and bestial world of Rasputin, Russia’s own anti-Christ. From the nightmare wastes of the Siberian landscape and its clandestine sects, to the grandure of St Petersburg that belied a dark underworld of saunas and sexual frustration, this is the story of a grossly misunderstood figure who swept in from the east preaching a new kind of holiness and bringing destruction to the Tsars. For his was a holiness that could heal, but that demanded sexual sin, flagellation and the worship of Rasputin himself? With a strong sense of the darkness that Rasputin brought on Russia, and with bold, haunting musical effects throughout, the film will employ journalistic contributors who will revisit Rasputin’s haunts and eke out modern day equivalents in an attempt to understand how one man could reek such havoc on one of the world’s centres of culture. With the recent discovery of a lost file that contains the first hand testimony of many of his acquaintances and close friends, we will bring alive the voices of those who were closest to Rasputin, his lovers, rivals and devotees. Their voices will accompany rich, atmospheric sequences that give a haunting vision of what took place in the cloisters and bath houses of Rasputin’s world, more impressionistic mini-horror movies than reconstructions.

Wild Russia [AmazingMomentsEver]
National GeographicThe beauty of Russia's vast landscape perhaps isn't the first thing that pops into one's mind when thinking about the complex country, but it's part of the reason Animal Planet spent three years filming this documentary. It captures Russia in all its natural glory, stretching from Eastern Europe across 11 time zones to the Bering Sea, revealing an epic wilderness that is home to an unprecedented range of wildlife, including beluga whales, polar bears, Stellar's sea eagles, and the rare Amur tigers and leopards

Documentary '60

Premise

This series featured various National Film Board of Canada documentaries, similar in concept to 1958's Candid Eye except that this new series was given a full broadcast season. Some of the documentaries were previously broadcast on Candid Eye.

Scheduling

This half-hour series was broadcast on Sundays at 5:30p.m. (Eastern) from 25 October 1959 to 29 May 1960.

Episodes

Between Two Wars (William Weintraub producer) is a group of three films on early 20th-century Canadian life and economic fortunes: The Good, Bright Days (1919–1927), Sunshine and Eclipse (1927–1934) and Twilight of an Era (1934–1939)

Bright Land (Morten Parker director), featuring life in the West Indies

The Cars in Your Life (Wolf Koenig and Roman Kroitor producers; Terence Macartney-Filgate director), concerning the role of the automobile in North America

Ethnonym

There are two Russian words which are commonly translated into English as "Russians". One is "русские" (russkiye), which most often means "ethnic Russians". Another is "россияне" (rossiyane), which means "citizens of Russia". The former word refers to ethnic Russians, regardless of what country they live in and irrespective of whether or not they hold Russian citizenship. Under certain circumstances this term may or may not extend to denote members of other Russian-speaking ethnic groups from Russia, or from the former Soviet Union. The latter word refers to all people holding citizenship of Russia, regardless of their ethnicity, and does not include ethnic Russians living outside of Russia. Translations into other languages often do not distinguish these two groups.

Arktika-class icebreaker

The Arktika class is a Russian (former Soviet) class of nuclear-powered icebreakers; they are the largest and most powerful icebreakers ever constructed. Ships of the Arktika class are owned by the federal government, but were operated by the Murmansk Shipping Company (MSCO) until 2008, when they were transferred to the fully government-owned operator Atomflot. Of the ten civilian nuclear-powered vessels built by Russia (and the Soviet Union), six have been of this type. They are used for escorting merchant ships in the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia as well as for scientific and recreational expeditions to the Arctic.

History

On July 3, 1971, construction began on a conceptual design of a larger nuclear icebreaker, dubbed Arktika, in the Baltic Shipyard in then Leningrad. Four years later, on December 17, 1975, Moscow and Leningrad received radio messages informing them that sea trials had been completed successfully. The newest and largest nuclear icebreaker at the time was ready for the Arctic.

Russia! magazine

Russia! magazine is an English-language publication about Russia, published quarterly by US-based company Press Release Group.

First issue, released in February, 2007, has 132 pages and its topics range from homosexuality to the issue of free speech. The magazine's newsstand price is $4.99. It is distributed in the US, UK and Russia. Design and art-direction of the first issue of the magazine was done by well-known design studio Art. Lebedev Studio.

The magazine is distributed in the US, UK, Sweden, Russia and around the world. It's sold in Barnes & Noble stores, Borders and other locations.

Annual subscription is $25.00 (in the US).

It was named one of the best new magazines of 2007 by Library Journal. As of 2009, Russia! magazine is published online and likely to resume print edition in 2011.

History

Russia! magazine was founded in 2007 by Ilya Merenzon and Andrew Paulson. The founding editor, Michael Thompson, was replaced after a single issue with Michael Idov, a contributing editor at New York Magazine. Under Idov, 'Russia!' took on a more humorous sensibility.

Produced by Red Zed Films 2012.
NickRead, director of Russia's Toughest Prison: The Condemned answers the StoryvilleQ&AWhat is more important, story or character?
If pushed I would have to say story. But it’s rare in film to try & tell a story in the absence of characters. Characters are key to humanising a story, giving it emotional dimensions and making a story memorable.
What made you first want to explore the subject?
The story emerged out of conversations with producer Mark Franchetti who had visited the prison as a print journalist several years previously. He had established a lasting relationship with the somewhat maverick governor, who sounded like a really strong film character (and who might be persuaded to let us in!). While we had to leave for the prison without any preproduction, and hence little real idea of our narrative, the attraction was to make a film about a community living on the very edge of the known, civilised world – to point a torch into their dark corner – and explore the concept of evil.
How long did it take to get the film off the ground?
It took about 6 months to acquire the necessary permissions from the Russian prison service and to raise funding.
What were you most surprised to learn in the course of production?
What surprised me most was how eloquent, educated and well-read many of the prisoners were. They were prisoners also of a time and place. The majority were convicted when Russia was at its most lawless – in the wild years of Yeltsin’s Presidency, when the state institutions were sold off & coalesced with organised crime. It was also when the limits on the strength of state vodka were lifted. Many prisoners committed murder when blind drunk.
What have been the differences in reception to the film in countries it has now travelled to?
The film found its most responsive audience in Eastern European countries, and also Canada.Perhaps they could relate to being locked up in a very cold environment!
Which documentary has most inspired you?
Homeland by Juris Podnieks – a rarely seen example of how to make a powerful political statement while demanding an emotional response from the audience.

In the heart of Russia, in a forest larger than Germany, where winter temperatures drop to -40 degrees, 7 hours from the nearest city, lies a prison like no other. Home to 260 men, responsible for nearly 800 murders, Penal Colony 56 is unique: a prison exclusively for killers.
With unprecedented access, this documentary looks into the hidden world of one of Russia's most impenetrable and remote institutions - a maximum security prison exclusively for murderers. Deep inside the land of the gulags, this is the end of the line for some of Russia's most dangerous criminals - 260 men who have collectively killed nearly 800 people. The film delves deep into the mind and soul of some of these prisoners.
In brutally frank and uncensored interviews the inmates speak of their crimes, life and death, redemption and remorselessness, insanity and hope. The film tracks them though their unrelenting days over several months, lifting the veil on one of Russia's most secretive subcultures to reveal what happens when a man is locked up in a tiny cell for 23 hours every day, for life.
A startling insight into inscrutable minds and the forbidding world they have been condemned to.
Produced by Red Zed Films 2012.
NickRead, director of Russia's Toughest Prison: The Condemned answers the StoryvilleQ&AWhat is more important, story or character?
If pushed I would have to say story. But it’s rare in film to try & tell a story in the absence of characters. Characters are key to humanising a story, giving it emotional dimensions and making a story memorable.
What made you first want to explore the subject?
The story emerged out of conversations with producer Mark Franchetti who had visited the prison as a print journalist several years previously. He had established a lasting relationship with the somewhat maverick governor, who sounded like a really strong film character (and who might be persuaded to let us in!). While we had to leave for the prison without any preproduction, and hence little real idea of our narrative, the attraction was to make a film about a community living on the very edge of the known, civilised world – to point a torch into their dark corner – and explore the concept of evil.
How long did it take to get the film off the ground?
It took about 6 months to acquire the necessary permissions from the Russian prison service and to raise funding.
What were you most surprised to learn in the course of production?
What surprised me most was how eloquent, educated and well-read many of the prisoners were. They were prisoners also of a time and place. The majority were convicted when Russia was at its most lawless – in the wild years of Yeltsin’s Presidency, when the state institutions were sold off & coalesced with organised crime. It was also when the limits on the strength of state vodka were lifted. Many prisoners committed murder when blind drunk.
What have been the differences in reception to the film in countries it has now travelled to?
The film found its most responsive audience in Eastern European countries, and also Canada.Perhaps they could relate to being locked up in a very cold environment!
Which documentary has most inspired you?
Homeland by Juris Podnieks – a rarely seen example of how to make a powerful political statement while demanding an emotional response from the audience.

Part horror movie, part journalistic investigation – this film will bring to life the dark, sexual and bestial world of Rasputin, Russia’s own anti-Christ. From the nightmare wastes of the Siberian landscape and its clandestine sects, to the grandure of St Petersburg that belied a dark underworld of saunas and sexual frustration, this is the story of a grossly misunderstood figure who swept in from the east preaching a new kind of holiness and bringing destruction to the Tsars. For his was a holiness that could heal, but that demanded sexual sin, flagellation and the worship of Rasputin himself? With a strong sense of the darkness that Rasputin brought on Russia, and with bold, haunting musical effects throughout, the film will employ journalistic contributors who will revisit Rasputin’s haunts and eke out modern day equivalents in an attempt to understand how one man could reek such havoc on one of the world’s centres of culture. With the recent discovery of a lost file that contains the first hand testimony of many of his acquaintances and close friends, we will bring alive the voices of those who were closest to Rasputin, his lovers, rivals and devotees. Their voices will accompany rich, atmospheric sequences that give a haunting vision of what took place in the cloisters and bath houses of Rasputin’s world, more impressionistic mini-horror movies than reconstructions.

Teen models as young as 13-years-old ready to be shipped around the world star in Reggie Yates' latest documentary on Russia.
Reggie Yates' Extreme Russia: Teen ModelFactory saw the presenter visit Siberia to meet the young girls who are going to extreme lengths to attract the international scouts and make it as fashion models in the West.
For some of the castings 90% of the girls didn't even come close to making the cut, as the documentary showed casting directors rejecting them for the smallest of reasons.
One girl's dreams were crushed as her hips are 1cm too wide.
BBCReggie gets her to take off her heels as she has a back problem
Viewers took to Twitter and said the programme was both 'interesting and disturbing'.
One viewer said: "Wow, loving the Extreme Russia series, even if the content is somewhat disturbing, kudos to you sir for keeping it real."
Another posted: "Watching this Reggie Yates programme about young Russian models...quite interesting and a bit disturbing"
One casting director referred to the girls as 'Ferrari’s without engines'.
“The role is to select girls and cast them all over the world, I expect to find 10-15 girls here. Most Russian girls are like Ferrari’s without engines,” he said, as hundreds of young women lined-up.
Another young hopeful won a competition and her family had to decide on the spot if she was to be sent to China to work, although another was happier at the thought of going to LA.
After seeing what they go through and Anya's response to being rejected, Reggie said: “The lines of right and wrong are just so blurred.”
In this three-part series Reggie got up close and personal with very different communities in contemporary Russia, exploring what it's like for young people there, 24 years after the fall of the Soviet Union.
